Lord of the Rings (the books) are terribly written by modern novel standards and while the story is amazing their value purely as literature is quite low. I will always defend people who loved the movies and couldn't get into the books.

Yea, if anything my main compliant about the show was that they took away too much levity.
Cowboy Bebop had some really stark messages about family, relationships, and the impermanence of time - and it delivers that through characters that live life fully in the moment and run from their fate. In the live action version the characters were too willing to fall into morose reflection and focused too much on their eventual fate - for me the seriousness of the show really undercut how serious the underlying message was.

Piemientos de Padrón, Jamón, un Mollete... basically, buy from a non-American grocery store where there are actually food safety laws.

Yea... there are assholes everywhere.
There's a key difference though, Harris won't applaud or defend this asshole and most democrats won't either. That's important.

You certainly can if you'd like, you won't get a full refund of the value you spent. I ended up just buying my phone in the EU and bringing it back to Canada with me. An EU phone can run a US or Canadian SIM without issue - the problem only happens in the other direction.
So, like, my suggestion is just buy your phone in the EU then it'll work everywhere with any SIM.

I applaud any electoral reform but the best solution is to just do away with primaries and have all interested candidates run in a single round using approval voting or some similar method.
Primaries exist as a method to slightly address shortcomings of our shitty FPTP system, if we improve the main voting system then primaries wouldn't be necessary.

The US is fucking weird. I'd honestly suggest you just buy a ready-out-of-box phone from the EU. EU laws make the device a whole lot more functional than what you'll get in the US.
If you travel to the EU it's easiest just to buy it in person over here - there are plenty of retailers that'll just sell you a new phone in box same day.

Granted, people can't tell if a phone is unlocked when they're stealing it so having an unlocked phone doesn't make it more likely you'd be targeted for theft.

I'm uncertain, but it's certainly quite possible these folks were trolling. My main point was that it's not as much about what the folks in sheets intended as much as it's about how they're perceived. Elections are pretty important and people are pretty sensitive right now so even if these folks did it for the lulz they may have actually intimidated and suppressed some votes.

Hey let's not lie to ourselves... most of those megabytes of JS are there to disable the copy functionality for anyone browsing our site.
Why? ... reasons. Someone in marketing said a thing once.

Yeah, or something like "My body my choice" there are lots of pins or patches you could draw inference (sometimes incorrectly, of course) from.

I'm currently trying to get assessed for ASD - I've had days where I involuntarily go non-verbal and feel pain whenever I try to speak.
There's a large comorbidity (overlap, basically) between ADHD and ASD - and I think this is more of an ASD thing than an ADHD sort of thing.

Nah, a lot of old tech. I used to work on shit like this... loading all your images (including the fucking rounded corners for IE) into a sprite... setting up caching, using prefetching and inlined CSS/JS for critical path stuff.
There was a whole industry around web performance in the days that a customer might be trying to download your site over their 256 kbps connection.
It's neat tech and I miss fiddling with it. I honestly found it a lot more fulfilling than the SPA era of web design.

Also, as a note, you could probably use concealer on the exterior to tone down the crazy as fuck black veins.
Best of luck!

Sure but what happened in the civil rights era was that anyone who was black was assumed to be voting against the racist as fuck candidate... so if you showed up and were black you'd be run off, beaten, or lynched.
Let's say you're me - I'm a man with a beard who wears skirts - I show up to vote and take a wild guess who I'm voting for... it's not the chucklefuck that wants to persecute all my trans friends. Based on appearance alone (including swag you might have pinned to your bag) you could try and make a guess about how someone may vote.
Just a sanity check here but... yall ever been mid conversation with someone and confused that they've forgotten a thing you talked about... until you realize that previous conversation took place entirely in your head?
